Coming in a few days (sorry for the delay!)

For you guys playing on windows XP--

Seriously. You're living in the past. New games these days are not meant for XP, and frankly, support for XP is going to be unreliable and not the primary focus.

Windows XP is over 10 years old, it's time for you to move on.

 

Ugh why do our characters have to be reset I had so much good stuff... Sigh. If we copy the save data to somwhere, will it work? Or will it be outdated. Is there a way to update it?

 

i Finally got a awesome sword i refuse to reset if we get a reset i will probably hack all my stuff back in since i refuse to lose it all

 

are galaxy coordanenants stay the same???????

 

Welp... Looks like I'ma have to fix my guide again... Oh well...
-Six hours of work, wasted-

 

This really makes it sound like the game will be much shorter and easier now... I was hoping for adventure, not content grind once the top tier gear is found...

 

i love the update but please DEAR LORD dont reset our characters everyone has finally settled down we dont want to have to lose all our rare and legends to an update work around reset tweak all the items dont reset remove items from our inv if you have to idc just dont reset everyone will probably be insanely mad It may take a bit more time but it will give you time to also review and think is there anything else i want added

 

I really like the Armor Penetration system. It gives me a reason to keep getting better weapons and what-not. To be honest, the big update feels like how other games do their progression. That's just me, though.

 

Well it doesnt matter too much, after all it onlt took me 2 days to get as far as i am, so itll be easier since i know everything to do now

 

If it helped some people get a good start, it wasn't so wasted. Keep the work - when the next patch hits, modify it. Build upon it. Just think - if you think it's bad that you wasted 6 ours writing a guide for an early version of the game, imagine what it must be like for the programmer team who wasted days or weeks on the particular systems that are getting rewritten after this feedback?

Again, if it's too much work to keep up with, you might want to consider waiting for a later period in the beta before you start writing any guides. Otherwise, you're going to have your hands full for the next few weeks as I imagine we'll have many beta patches. Over time it will regulate and you'll likely have to enter information for new features only, but the choice is yours. Work on it now - you'll have a lot of editing to do. Wait for awhile, and someone else might do most of the work before you.

Edit: @Mckaos: That's the spirit, and imagine that, when you restart this time, there will be some new features, or a new combat system, or tweaks to how you progress at the start. You'll have new things to do, even if you lost the main stuff you earned early on.

 

Love the sounds of the update, however, when will the FPS lag be fixed?

 

Please bear in mind that not all of us want to stick with Windows XP.

 

"- I worry that reducing the game to 10 levels and just having easy/medium/hard per sector will really cheapen the experience and remove the need to really adventure to many planets within the early sectors."

100% agreed!

 

This makes me so happy. I'm more than willing to make a new character for this update.

 

If this is really the last time i get to see my charecter good bye radioactive0 your life was full of adventures and hardships im sorry it has to end like THIS -.-

 

Are there 100 levels in the game already? ive only seen max 9

 

I think I generally agree with the new damage system, in that we can directly compare weapons/armor to know if something is better than another. In one instance, I had a lvl 6 legendary weapon which somehow outdamaged a lvl 8 normal, but less damaging than the lvl 5 crafted sword that had higher "DPS". This normalized DPS system will let us compare legendary loot to common loot of a higher damage and also different speed weapons.

What I think is unclear at the moment is how we will get monster and difficulty variety within a sector (a single level in the new system). Will monsters differ in the damage and health, even among the same type? I would still like there to be planets that will whomp me in alpha sector if I try to go there with my copper armor and starter weapon.

The other concern I have at this point is how the ore distribution and tiers will be rebalanced. In the current system, some tiers are more valuable than others due to the availability of resources on planets of that tier. I haven't explored higher tier alpha planets yet to see if I can find rare minerals underground, but it sounds like tiers can be skipped or be stuck on due to what resources you can find. However, I can wait on these changes as we slowly test and fix each system.

Liking where things are going, so keep up the good work!

 

You were told to not get attached to your beta character.

RIP.

 

Seriously people? The Beta clearly stated BEFORE release, Don't play Stage 1 if you don't want your stuff reset. Character and world loss WILL happen, no matter what, as the game is updated and versions become incompatible.

Why complain now? You decided to play it during this Phase.

 

I believe, at the moment, we have around 30-40 more-or-less fleshed out levels. The other tiers are coming in later beta patches.

 

wait cant we all just make a file for our charecters and when they update remove the removed items and just play from there with our stuff ?

 

what time is this meant to happen also multiplayer needs to be clear for people who cant look at code well and need an option to delete character in the character select menu

 

This sounds like an EXCELLENT solution. Ive always loved games that used smaller numbers, like D&D. You can wrap your head around whats going on more easily and plan your progress and power better. For the most part everything being done with the test seems well thought out. By having it set up for rapid progression you can see how people are progressing and where problems begin, thus improving the design of the game.

I suggest adding shields and bows to each tier of weapons. There should be options to accommodate play styles. Im not sure if your planning this already or what, but thats my two cents.
